Keynes was stunned for a moment, his gaze involuntarily swept over Leiton, and finally bowed down and said, "Obey, Your Majesty." ”

"Father, I was wrong, and I am willing to take on this task. Layton hurriedly said, "I promise not to raise any more questions." ”

"Nope. Stubin shook his head and said, "Fear is my means of ruling them, it shouldn't be yours, you should keep your benevolent and glorious image, the more terrifying my means of rule, the more noble and rare your mercy will be, how high my rule is, how deep the love you get after you take over, not only this matter, you can't participate, in the future, you will try to participate as little as possible, on the contrary, I want you to become the representative of these local natives, fight for their interests, and resist my tyranny." ”

"Father. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Not only was Layton dumbfounded, but even the others couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Don't you hurry up and thank Your Majesty?" Keynes shoved Leyton from behind.

Seeing that Prince Layton was still confused, Keynes hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is a conscience to pave the way for you, we are outsiders and invaders, this cannot be changed, mercy, it is difficult to exchange their loyalty, this will only make them think that we are cowardly, there is a chance to resist us, it will breed more resistance forces, only fear can make them hibernated, this is helpless."

But fear can be used for a while, but not for a lifetime, this will be an excellent weapon for His Royal Highness the Prince's future rule, because only in despair and fear, can we taste what it means to be benevolent, benevolent, and good, and when all the locals recognize His Highness, we can really take root in the East China Sea and turn this place into our territory. ”

"Father. Leiden's voice was full of emotion, and he didn't think that his father would pave the way for himself at the expense of his reputation.

"This is for the future of our family. Stubin waved his hand, "But the benevolent means of rule, just like farming, are only the future of the territory, not the present, the current raiding is what we are best at, only the combination of the two means is the most suitable for us."

Especially for the Eternal Night Commanders, we can't sit back and watch them grow and develop, the contradictions between our two sides are irreconcilable, either they will seize our Dawan Island in the future, or we will eat their Danube Plain. ”

Seeing that his strategy was fully recognized, Keynes's attitude softened a lot: "What Your Majesty said is very true, I am not opposed to sending troops to the Eternal Night Army, but I think that this matter, we should plan and plan well, so as to be foolproof, after all, their mines, in the inland river, are too advantageous, and the strength of the ground army is above us, if the landing force is blocked by them on land, then there will be no return." ”

"It's our business, so you don't need to worry about it. Moore said with a cold face, full of unhappiness.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to gain more say for himself.

Unexpectedly, King Stubin was ready to personally go out and coordinate the whole fleet, so that even if he sent troops to the Danube Plain, his little abacus would be in vain.

"You just need to do your own thing, you don't need to worry about it. Steubin obviously didn't want to explain his battle plan in public.

He has led the troops for many years, and he knows the importance of secrecy, especially their pirate-style combat methods, relying on a surprise, before the enemy can react, kill them in the core hinterland, and run away with a ruthless vote.

And the Eagle Eye of the Eternal Night Army Leader is notoriously powerful, who knows if it has infiltrated his side.

It would not be good if they came up with a battle plan on the front foot, and the back foot was placed on the table of the Eternal Night Commander, and when the time came, they would lay a trap for them.

"Captain Stubbin, no, His Majesty is going to launch an all-out attack on the Eternal Night Army, haha, brothers, what are you waiting for? ”

"Haha...... I've been waiting for this news for a long time, and I've heard that the Eternal Night Army is doing a good job in the Danube Plain, and the grain harvested last year has been piled up in mountains and transported to their mountains by boat, and this time it can't be cheapened for nothing, and it will be ours when the time comes. ”

"Not only the grain is ours, but the fat and oily land is also ours, we are just putting it in their hands to reclaim it now, and sooner or later it will belong to our East China Sea Kingdom, haha......"

"Brothers, the time has come to make a contribution, let us fight bravely to kill the enemy, so that we can make an island lord or lord to do ......"

The news that the East China Sea Kingdom was preparing to send troops to lead the Danube Plain by the sea breeze blew all over the Dawan Islands by the way, and those sailors shouted excitedly one by one.

Raiding has been integrated into their bones, but after arriving in the East China Sea, because of the dominance of the family, the territory has become larger, but they have lost the opportunity to plunder, and they indulge in wine and beauty all day long, and they feel that the whole person is about to be wasted.

Now that they heard that there was a battle to be fought, especially the Danube Plain, which they had coveted for a long time, the Eternal Night Army Commander, who had made them suffer a loss, was of course very excited.

Countless warships, like sharks smelling fishy, converged in Dawan Harbor, and in just ten days, there were more than 3,000 warships of all sizes gathered here.

Of course, most of them are small warships converted from islanders' fishing boats, fully manned, and there are only about 20 people, and their combat effectiveness is quite average, not to mention warships with ranks, even if they are armed merchant ships brought by the Third Fleet, it is not a problem to fight five of them at a time.

The members are no longer the battle-hardened old pirates, but the local islanders who have been incorporated with them as the backbone, and the level of loyalty is quite average.

Heavy in a large amount, it looks more scary.

"Ten years ago, we lost there, not only losing more than 3,000 brethren, but also losing our symbol, our honorary dragon roar, there, making us a lost dog, and we were able to abandon our homeland and flee here, which is both our shame and our luck.

If we hadn't lost the Dragon's Roar, how could we make up our minds to give up the past and create a more brilliant future?

We gave up some of them, but we gained more, and we had our own dream home.

But that doesn't mean we forget the hatred and what we've lost.

What was once lost, it must be regained today.

I will make the whole of the East Sea, and the whole coast of the Danube Plain, shrouded in the prestige of my Stubbin.

I want them to tremble when they hear my name, and I want them to see my warship and they can only kneel and beg for mercy.

I will let them personally send our dragon's roar back again, and pay us tribute every year, praying for our protection. ”

In front of hundreds of captains, large and small, Stubbin gave a pirate-like speech.

The naked concept of predation made them scream excitedly, and they all slapped their wine glasses on the table and applauded loudly.

After giving a mobilization speech, Stubin left only a small fleet to guard the important port towns, and personally led the team to the Danube Plain, preparing to turn it upside down.

When their fleet began to assemble on Dawan Island, the Eternal Night Commander had already received the news, and the Military Staff analyzed the other party's purpose of attacking and plundering the Danube Plain in an all-out way.

After all, after three years of development, the Danube Plain is no longer a worthless wasteland, but a rich granary of flowing oil.

The East China Sea Kingdom, which was founded on the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, is still essentially a group of pirates, and it is impossible for them to sit idly by and ignore these wealth.

This was already expected by the Eternal Night Commander when he began to develop the Danube Plain.

After receiving the news, the Eternal Night Army Leader was like a huge machine, and began to operate rhythmically, and the various army groups drew the main army and assembled in the direction of the Danube Plain.

Among them, Jiangmen Port is the main troop assembly point.

Jiangmen Port.

The second port city built on the Danube River by the Eternal Night Army.

Its geographical shape and overall layout have great similarities with Brother Port.

The origin of the name is literal, the gateway of the Danube River, only 30 kilometers from the mouth of the Danube River.

It is now at the forefront of the Eternal Night's defense against the invasion of the Third Fleet.

At this moment, there is a high-level pre-war meeting of the Eternal Night Warlord, which is being held here.

Host: Sean Don Augustine, Ruler of the Eternal Night, Ranthlot, Earl of the Byron League.

At the top of the meeting: General Woody, Commander of the Shuangjiang Naval Army, Admiral Arnold, Commander of the Explorer Navy, Marshal Dicklon, Commander of Army Group Center, Field Marshal McGee of the First Army, Field Marshal Erickson, Commander of the Third Army, Field Marshal Yarr, Commander of the Fifth Army, and Kelman and Gabley, Chiefs of Staff.

"Now that the personnel are here, let's start now, and give you a briefing on the situation, Marshal Arnold. Sean nodded at Arnold.

"A day ago, we have received accurate news, the puppet king of the East China Sea Puppet State Stubin Cummins launched a pre-war mobilization, ready to take advantage of the autumn rainfall on the Danube Plain, when the river is flooding, to launch a full-line plunder, they can be regarded as pouring out of the nest this time, a total of three Dreadnought-class sailing ships, eight Dreadnought-class schooners, fifty Hurricane-class, seventy Breaking Waves-class, and more than 3,000 small and modified warships. ”

"The formation is big enough, and it really looks up to us. Marshal McGee, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't help but gasp and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your explorer navy only has about thirty warships, right? plus the building ships of the Shuangjiang Navy, there are only about fifty large warships, right?"

"To be precise, including the flagship Dragon Roar, the Explorer Navy only has thirty-two full-manned warships, all of which can participate in the war, and the Shuangjiang Navy has other tasks and guards, and only twelve building ships are dispatched to support us, but our warships are all refitted, and those equipped with magic sails and shipborne artillery cannot be measured by the combat power of ordinary warships. Marshal Arnold spoke with a deep sense of confidence.

The quantity is not in the same grade, but the quality is also not in the same grade.

"Self-confidence is a good thing, we must not be complacent, sometimes the quantity will be overwhelming, a little careless, it will be a devastating blow to the Danube Plain that we have just developed. Sean admonished on the side, "Tell me how you think the other party is going to fight this battle." ”

"That's what the lord commanded. Marshal Arnold pointed to the sand table of the Danube Plain in front of him, "Although there are many rivers in the Danube Plain that flow directly into the East China Sea, they all belong to the diversion of the Danube River.

However, this is only normal, but every autumn, the Danube Plain is affected by ocean currents, and into the rainy season of at least one month, the water volume of the various rivers will rise significantly, and the flow of five rivers will reach the level of small sea boats going inland, and these five rivers are Bashu, Yudai, Marys, Nice and Banes from north to south.

Among them, the upper reaches of the Bashu River are the most serious, the whole section of the river can be passed, directly to the upper reaches of the Danube River, the lightest Banes River, can also penetrate into the hinterland 150 kilometers, very unfortunately, the weather is not on our side, this year the rainfall in the Danube Plain is particularly heavy, five rivers can enter and exit freely. ”

"What does Marshal Arnold mean is that we need to defend not only Jiangmen Port, but also these five rivers?" asked the chief of staff of Gabriel's main force.

Gabley is the fresh blood of the upper echelons of the Eternal Night Army, although he has no brilliant achievements, but he is an out-and-out professional background, the first place in the military strategy department of the Academy City, and in terms of military deduction, he has his own uniqueness, even if he is an old chief of staff like Kelman, he is sometimes killed by him and sweats.

Especially in terms of water warfare, he has his own unique opinions, and the military staff itself is blank in this regard, plus the crocodile background, how much bonus points are given to him, and he is exceptionally promoted to the acting chief of staff.

Some of them do well in school, but when they really step into social practice, it is not uncommon for them to get along with everyone.

"Yes, our large-scale development of the Danube Plain is mainly carried out around these major rivers, once they are allowed to swim upstream, they will directly bloom in our belly, plundering the surrounding manor villages, the East China Sea Kingdom has never stopped harassing and investigating us in the past few years, and they should have mastered all this information.

Judging from the movements of their fleet, the main force of the fleet is coming towards our Jiangmen Port, but according to my personal speculation, it is unlikely that they will directly attack Jiangmen Port. General Arnold threw out his analysis.

"I disagree with General Arnold's analysis. Gabley said.

General Arnold asked, "Which point?"
